Teachers’ and principals’ views on interdisciplinary teaching and learning in the humanities
Scholarship on interdisciplinary teaching and learning, especially in the humanities, is scarce, and it rarely takes teachers’ and principals’ views into account. To address these gaps, we present findings from interviews conducted with teachers and principals who were engaged in developing and enacting interdisciplinary curricula in the humanities. These respondents described interdisciplinarity as an innovation that can affect discourse within …
Interdisciplinary learning in the humanities
Background This paper explores K-12 interdisciplinary learning in the humanities (IL-Humanities), an area that, until now, has seen limited research focus compared to its STEM counterparts. We asked: (1) What are the outcomes of IL-Humanities in terms of interdisciplinary competences? (2) How do learners in these environments engage in cross-disciplinary knowledge building and transdisciplinary identity work?Methods We assessed the efficacy of IL…
Situated Partnership
Background or Context: Research–practice partnerships (RPPs) are collaborative efforts between researchers and practitioners aimed at improving educational practices through engagement in research. Previous studies have highlighted the dynamic nature of roles within RPPs, emphasizing the need for role negotiation and adaptation to local contexts. This study builds on existing literature by focusing on the roles of academic faculty within an evolv…
Marketizing education
The neoliberal turn has driven attempts to marketize education, but how does marketization occur? In this article I draw on ethnographic and linguistic-ethnographic methods to investigate marketization through a microanalytic lens. My investigation focuses on a team of educational professionals, who participated in a workshop led by an organizational consultant named Eric. During the workshop, Eric successfully encouraged the educators to adopt s…
From “Carrier” to “Creator”
Background The sociocultural turn redefined learning in terms of shifting identities. In recent years, learning scientists have explored the connections between learning and various types of identities, including disciplinary identity, gender, race, and more. In this article we focus on national identity, to understand how it is constructed and how it might be made more inclusive through learning.Methods Drawing on sociolinguistics and discourse …
Enriching the informing cycle of Knowledge Building Communities by investigating students’ interpretations of design principles
Knowledge Building Communities (KBCs) are principled-based, interactive learning environments designed to scaffold higher levels of student agency and the formulation of goals and questions stemming from students’ knowledge-building needs. The design of KBCs is guided by a set of 12 principles that have been examined across hundreds of studies. Although five studies have investigated students’ perspectives of knowledge building, none have analyze…
